An in depth video of 55kg Olympian Sam Hazewinkel's journey to make the Olympic team. Hazewinkel was a 4x All-American at Oklahoma, but could never quite get over the hump and win a national championship. After college Hazewinkel began wrestling internationally in Greco-Roman, but like college Hazewinkel was never able to get over the hump of being on an Olympic or world team. In 2009 Hazewinkel made the switch over to freestyle and finally after always being number two, Hazewinkel defeated Nick Simmons to become the United States representative at 55kg.
